TU9 President Horst Hippler: "Many talented young Chinese are interested in studying engineering and natural sciences at a TU9 university"

The TU9 universities will be represented in a joint booth at the European Higher Education Fair Beijing (20th -21st October 2007), and in the German pavilion at the China Education Expo 2007 in Shanghai (27th -28th October 2007).
"In China, German university degrees enjoy an excellent reputation. There are many talented young people interested in studying engineering and natural sciences at a TU9 university", says Professor Horst Hippler, TU9 President and President of Universität Karlsruhe (TH). "It goes without saying that we will be there to give individual advice on degree programmes and doctorates."

Some 204,000 students, or ten percent of all German students, are registered at TU9 universities.

In Germany 56 percent of all engineers with university degrees come from TU9 universities. 57 percents of all doctorates in engineering are awarded at TU9 universities.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, the TU9 universities attracted more than 20 percent of all third-party funding acquired by 383 German universities and institutions of higher education in 2005.
